Regardless of your play style, you get tense and triumphant moments, like when a competitor threatens to overtake you as their DRS kicks in along the back straightaway, only for you to dive hard into the corner and hold them off. The F1 cars are responsive in acceleration, braking, and control, with the usual variety of helpers, like rewinding and changing difficulty settings. F1 2019 has all of these, and importantly, it keeps them in reach of drivers of all abilities. The world of F1 is relentless in its competition, whether that’s on the track, between teams’ R&D departments, or even rival drivers within your own team.
Codemasters’ F1 series isn’t only for hardcore racers and F1 diehards it’s for anyone who wants to race on the edge, who wants to build a top-flight organization, and who wants to test their mettle turn after turn and season after season. That’s just one of the challenges of F1 2019, but it’s not the only metric by which this game should be judged, nor the only one by which it succeeds. If you want to feel the full torque and acceleration of your machine and think you can control that beast, then go ahead. The F1 series has a well-earned reputation for demanding sim-based racing.
